=head1 NAME

nbd_opt_list - request the server to list all exports during
negotiation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <libnbd.h>

 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, const char *name,
                    const char *description);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_list_callback;

 int nbd_opt_list (
       struct nbd_handle *h,
       nbd_list_callback list_callback
     );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Request that the server list all exports that it supports.
This can only be used if L<nbd_set_opt_mode(3)> enabled option mode.

The C<list> function is called once per advertised export, with any
C<user_data> passed to this function, and with C<name> and C<description>
supplied by the server.  Many servers omit descriptions, in which
case C<description> will be an empty string.  Remember that it is not
safe to call L<nbd_set_export_name(3)> from within the context of the
callback function; rather, your code must copy any C<name> needed for
later use after this function completes.  At present, the return value
of the callback is ignored, although a return of -1 should be avoided.

For convenience, when this function succeeds, it returns the number
of exports that were advertised by the server.

Not all servers understand this request, and even when it is understood,
the server might intentionally send an empty list to avoid being an
information leak, may encounter a failure after delivering partial
results, or may refuse to answer more than one query per connection
in the interest of avoiding negotiation that does not resolve.  Thus,
this function may succeed even when no exports are reported, or may
fail but have a non-empty list.  Likewise, the NBD protocol does not
specify an upper bound for the number of exports that might be
advertised, so client code should be aware that a server may send a
lengthy list.

For L<nbd-server(1)> you will need to allow clients to make
list requests by adding C<allowlist=true> to the C<[generic]>
section of F</etc/nbd-server/config>.  For L<qemu-nbd(8)>, a
description is set with I<-D>.

=head1 RETURN VALUE

This call returns an integer E<ge> C<0>.

=head1 ERRORS

On error C<-1> is returned.

Refer to L<libnbd(3)/ERROR HANDLING>
for how to get further details of the error.

The following parameters must not be NULL: C<h>.
For more information see L<libnbd(3)/Non-NULL parameters>.

=head1 HANDLE STATE

nbd_opt_list
can be called when the handle is in the following state:

 ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
 │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ✅ allowed              │
 │ Connected to the server             │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connection shut down                │ ❌ error                │
 │ Handle dead                         │ ❌ error                │
 └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

=head1 VERSION

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.4.

If you need to test if this function is available at compile time
check if the following macro is defined:

 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_OPT_LIST 1

=head1 EXAMPLE

This example is also available as F<examples/list-exports.c>
in the libnbd source code.

 /* This example shows how to list NBD exports.
  *
  * To test this with qemu-nbd:
  *   $ qemu-nbd -x "hello" -t -k /tmp/sock disk.img
  *   $ ./run examples/list-exports /tmp/sock
  *   [0] hello
  *   Which export to connect to (-1 to quit)? 0
  *   Connecting to hello ...
  *   /tmp/sock: hello: size = 2048 bytes
  *
  * To test this with nbdkit (requires 1.22):
  *   $ nbdkit -U /tmp/sock sh - <<\EOF
  *   case $1 in
  *     list_exports) echo NAMES; echo foo; echo foobar ;;
  *     open) echo "$3" ;;
  *     get_size) echo "$2" | wc -c ;;
  *     pread) echo "$2" | dd bs=1 skip=$4 count=$3 ;;
  *     *) exit 2 ;;
  *   esac
  *   EOF
  *   $ ./run examples/list-exports /tmp/sock
  *   [0] foo
  *   [1] foobar
  *   Which export to connect to (-1 to quit)? 1
  *   Connecting to foobar ...
  *   /tmp/sock: foobar: size = 7 bytes
